Norman Jorgensen
Author of History
based in WA
Norman Jorgensen may have the body of an ageing historical novelist, but he has the mind of an adolescent 12-year-old boy. He writes for Australian kids just like himself. No humour or thrilling adventures are spared as his fictional characters weave through sea battles, mix with authentic freedom fighters, fight the pirates and are nearly killed many times over in actual locations in Sumatra and Broome in 1897.
Norman, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Young Readers Book Awards in 2020, has written thirteen children’s and YA books and has won many awards, including the Book of the Year Award.
